Brown Co.: Cooper VanNess 47 (medalist), Clay Austin 65, Bradley Arndt 67, Jordan Burnett 67, Dylan Taylor 71.
Coach’s comments: A young, inexperienced Eagle golf team lost to Hauser at Otter Creek Golf Course Thursday, April 8. Brown County junior Cooper VanNess, the only Eagle with varsity golf experience, posted a 47 to take medalist honors. Freshman Clay Austin recorded the next-best Eagle score with a 65. Junior Jordan Burnett and sophomore Bradley Arndt each shot a 67, while sophomore Dylan Taylor had a 71. “Three of our five golfers were competing in their first high school match, and they showed a lot of poise. Cooper had a rough start but hit several quality shots and stayed mentally tough.,” said Eagle Coach Brad Baughman. The golfers return to the links Monday, April 12, when they host Martinsville at 4 p.m. This is a change in the original schedule.
